What Start Date, End Date and shipping method should I choose when placing my cell phone rental order?
All orders are shipped out based on the rental Start Date that you enter and your shipping method. The Start Date is the latest day that you will need your phone rental before you leave for your trip (usually a day or two before you leave). The End Date is the day your package must be postmarked by to avoid any late return fees. Rentals will ship out with enough time to make sure you receive your order a couple of days prior to your Start Date.How can I set up the Personal Extra Number (PEN) on my rental order?
Once your order is processed and shipped, you will receive a notification email. At this point, you can log in to your account and:If you activate the Free US PEN and your travel is under 30 days, it will stay active for the duration of your travel. If you will be traveling for more than 30 days and require the use of the PEN beyond 30 days, you must renew your PEN for a fee before it expires.
Alternatively, you can order a PEN in your local area or in another country if you require one.Â
